A seriously underestimated 5A scenic spot

"A seriously underestimated 5A scenic spot" It's a pity that Guilin doesn't promote this place. Such a spectacular scenery is worth a trip no matter how far away it is! Location: Bajiaozhai Scenic Area, Ziyuan County, Guilin. Scenic spot: This is a scenic spot that spans two provinces. The Guangxi side is called Bajiaozhai Scenic Area, and the Hunan side is called Langshan Scenic Area (including Bajiaozhai, Tianyixiang, Zixiadong, and Lajiao Peak). Opening: 07:30-17.30. Tickets: This attraction is a bit complicated. There is only one attraction in Guilin that costs 100, while a package of several attractions in Hunan costs 136, which are not universal. Travel: If you drive, navigate directly to "Bajiaozhai Scenic Area". Take the high-speed rail to Guilin North Station in the direction of Guangxi. After exiting the station, there will be a shuttle bus at Guilin North Bus Station that will go directly to the scenic area at around 9:00 in the morning and return at around 16:30 in the afternoon. You can get off at Dongkou High-Speed ​​Railway Station in the direction of Hunan, and then take a taxi after exiting the station. Accommodation: There are relatively few and scattered homestays at the foot of the mountain in the Guangxi direction, and they are average because it is too remote. The advantage is that it is close to the trailhead. The Wu District in the Hunan direction is larger, with relatively more choices. There are quite a few from the scenic area to the town a few kilometers away. play: 1 If you are going back and forth on the same day, it is strongly recommended to go up the mountain from Guilin. The scenery is mainly concentrated here, and the whole climbing process takes about 4 hours. There isn’t much scenery when you go up the mountain towards the south of the river, but the upside is that there are lots of shady trees. 2 If you want to play for two days, it is recommended to go up the mountain from the Hunan direction. After seeing the scenery at the top of the mountain, if you have the energy, you can go down some distance towards Guangxi, and then return to Hunan by the same route. Camera position: Snails watching the sky, whales making noise in the sea, dragon heads smell fragrant. TIPS: 1 You don't need to pay for additional tickets when going up the mountain from Guangxi or going down the mountain from Hunan, unless you want to visit other attractions in Langshan, in which case you have to buy a new package ticket. You need to pay for the ticket when going up the mountain from Hunan and going down the mountain from Guangxi. 2 If you drive by yourself, you cannot go up the mountain and down the mountain at the same time. You can only go back the same way. Otherwise, you will need to go around more than 20 kilometers of mountain roads to get back to the original place. The key is that there is no car going back, and your car is still parked on the other side waiting for you. 3 If you go back and forth on the same day, just visit Bajiaozhai and go up and down the mountain from the Guangxi direction. It took two days to climb the mountain from the direction of Hunan, and after reaching the top of the mountain, go down to the direction of Guangxi to see the snails up close, and then return the same way. It was quite tiring. Experience: The transportation is not very convenient, the scenery is ok, and the location is a bit remote. Perhaps because it is too remote, not many people come here. I met less than ten people in the whole scenic area, but it is worth promoting.
